I agree that there should be some mechanism to cajole shitty management and owners, but no one is agreeing to a lease system. Not when teams sell for billions.

During plebe summer at the Naval Academy (1997) one of my squadmates revealed that she had never seen Top Gun. She was roundly mocked, nicknamed Goose, and since plebes aren’t allowed to watch movies or listen to music, our platoon had to re-enact as much of the movie as we could remember, including the music.

This whole thing feels like an attack on my childhood.

I don’t like square cuts all that much either. It’s pizza for people who want to treat pizza like an hors d’oeuvre.

“Look, it’s no fun if you guys don’t pose at least a little bit of a challenge.”

I want a master cut of all the Gary stories at the end of this, a la the McBain movie.

Really burnishes his record of 2-time MVP, 8-time First Team defense, 7-time Second-Team defense, 3-time college Defensive Player of the year, to find out he accomplished all of that while actually coaching his opponents on how to play better against him. Damn.

If you think poverty is a simple problem, all I can say is: buddy, the world has been waiting for you since the dawn of time and I would like to be the first to say- Welcome to planet Earth. We eagerly await the wisdom of your ancient alien civilization.
